Boheme's chef, Rishi Singh, will prepare a special dish to celebrate Lunar New Year.

Chinese New Year celebrations are under way and there will be a bunch of parties, dinners and events around town during the next few weeks. But, one of the most exciting events will take place at Boheme Cafe and Wine Bar during Happy Hour. The Asia Society of Young Professionals - Texas invites you to celebrate the Lunar New Year during Test Kitchen Tuesday with Boheme chef Rishi Singh. The event was originally scheduled for the previous Tuesday; however, due to the first icepocalypse, the event has been rescheduled for Tuesday, February 4, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. For $7 you can chow down on "Lunar Wings": Singh will prepare large crispy chicken wings coated in a tangerine hoisin sauce and topped with a mixture of toasted peanuts and cilantro. Dip these suckers in a sweet gorgonzola dulce sauce for extra flavor. Because this event is a precursor to Thursday night's dinner with Master Chef contestant Christina Ha, each guest will have a chance, through a drawing, to win a signed copy of her cookbook, Recipes from My Home Kitchen..

Head to Space Center Houston on Thursday, February 6, for "Epicurean Evening: A Taste of Space." More than 40 restaurants and culinary vendors from Clear Lake and Bay Area Houston, such as Cadillac Bar, Opus Bistro, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Pomodor's NASA, will be participating in this year's event. For $30 (or $35 at the door) you will receive unlimited samples from vendors, two beer or wine coupons (more may be purchased), free parking and shopping at the silent auction. Bring the kids, too! Children ages 4-12 may enter for $10, and children 3 years old and younger get in free. While you make your rounds to the food stations, your children can play at the Kids Space Place.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and CRAVE Cupcakes wants to make gift-giving easier for you. Leading up to V-Day, CRAVE will provide three ways you can send some sugar to your sweetie.
